If you can speak English, you know a lot of English words. You can read, speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know—the language of the body, a part of what is called non-verbal communication. All over the world, people “talk” with their eyes. When Japanese people meet, they put their hands together. What do the American and the British do?

Americans are more informal than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first name, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable.

British people are more quiet. They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask you home.

When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a manfriend, he just smiles, and says “hello”. Men do not kiss each other. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

I worked for a short time as a casher(出纳员) at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the table when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at that time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it , and I told him “no”. at once he opened it and showed that it had nearly ＄８００　

in cash(现金). He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “ A reward(酬劳) for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.

Thinking about it later,
